In a major reversal, Fox News' Sean Hannity said embattled Senate candidate Roy Moore should answer allegations against him or drop out of the race.

On Tuesday night, Hannity called on Moore to provide information on charges he had sexual contact with teenage girls when he was in his 30s. Moore has denied the charges, but a growing number of Republicans have called on the former Alabama Chief Justice to drop out of the race.

"For me, the judge has 24 hours. You must immediately and fully come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies," Hannity said. "You must remove any doubt. If you can't do this, then Judge Moore needs to get out of this race."

Hannity cited 'inconsistencies' in his call for Moore to answer the allegations, including Moore saying he didn't know one of his accusers despite her yearbook showing a personal message written to her by the then-assistant District Attorney.
